In the evening to Burghersh’s opera,[*] which was very well performed; pretty theatre, crowded to suffocation. All the actors amateurs; chorus composed of divers ladies and gentlemen of Florence, principally English. Here all the society of Florence was assembled in nearly equal proportions of Italians, English, and other foreigners. [*On 23 March, Greville recorded in his journal that, the previous morning, he had ‘called on Lord Burghersh, who was at breakfast—the table covered with manuscript music, a pianoforte, two fiddles, and a fiddler in the room. He was full of composition and getting up his opera of “Phaedra” for to-morrow night.’ He lists the cast in a footnote on p. 301] |
